Kef b110 pair, faulty

[KCT]

Hi , anyone interested ?. they both scrape and dont sound good. Will need refurbishing I guess. Please pm £20

Sometimes they just sag and can be restored by simply inverting them on the baffle.
There are quite a few variants of this driver too, so it might be useful to quote the SP number.

Standard ones then. No good for those wanting spares for the likes of LS3/5a and the like...

I have a spare B110 SP1057 that was sagging, so I left it in the back of a cabinet for the past year. It was face down / magnet up. Because of this thread, I just pulled it out, and sure enough, it seems to be sorted!

I also have some Kef Ref 101s, and one of the B110s buzzes when driven louder. Is there a cure? Or should I just replace it with the spare?

Thanks.

The SP1057 is the correct one for the R101, so I would just replace it with your spare one.

I had a Kef B200. Same symptoms and I left it. It was perfect later. Sold it for a few pounds. Everbody was happy... Martyn Miles

offers anyone??

If you don't want to have a go at inverting them to see if it cures the problem,then maybe you should advertise them in the classifieds. I'd have them, but I haven't got £20 at the mo.

 

[KCT]

Pete, how on earth does this inversion method work. Surely if they are dragging they just stick and cones cant move down

 

[pete the bus]

Gravity. I guess that over time the cone surrounds and suspension become more elastic and start to sag. If you turn them upside down sometimes it's enough for them to re-centre themselves. Worth a try, surely?

would anyone like them before the bin ? collect Gloucester

Hi KCT

I would love them, I was just about to begin looking for a pair. PM sent.

Kind Regards
Peter

sorry Peter need them collected. South Africa is a bit far, but thanks anyway
